Letter Crafting

I'm always up for trying something new when it comes to crafting. Scrapbooking remains my very favorite thing to do in this arena...but that doesn't mean I don't like to switch it up. So a few weeks ago when my sister in law texted saying that she had an idea for her daughters room and wanted me to help I said, "of course!"

Hours later I ran off the the craft store to pick up these babies...

She wanted the letters to match a safari/lion king room but be able to transition out of the "baby" phase at some point. So I gathered about $30 worth of materials and set to work...

And this is what I came up with!...

I love it when I finish a project and can't wait to give it to the person it was intended for. I was really happy with the way these turned out. They have a bit of a cartoon-ish look to them that suits a childs room. I also added some ribbon on a few of the letters to finish it off.

Can you believe that on etsy letters like these can go for $20, each? It only took thirty bucks and about an hour of my time to complete 6 of them. I could make a killing! :).... Nah, I don't want to quit my scrappy day job. But it was fun to dabble. What sort of other crafts do you enjoy?
